It really is ten months since I looked at this page properly. I have written nothing whatsoever since May 2024.
I have just wrapped up (in all senses) a considerable body of work for “Printmakers Pushing the Boundaries” in preparation for our exhibition at Hay Castle next month i.e. next week. I must tidy up the living room, where I’ve been working over the winter because the studio/shed is a) too cold, b) too dark and overshadowed by trees and c) too full of dead leaves and spiders’ webs to be habitable. Once the living room is a bit tidier I can start on the studio, which needs mucking out with a shovel.
But in between bursts of housework I shall be back up to Bwlch y Ddeufaen because – fanfare – the project has finally found a home. I have been asked to display work from it in Galeri Caernarfon, a major arts hub in Gwynedd (North Wales). Quite a challenge, as it will hang from a gantry high above the meeting space “Ar y Ffram”. So there are constructional details to consider as well as the appearance of the work. Onwards and upwards.
